}So did Norwegians, Swedes and other Europeans. But don't smear their motives. They joined
to fight against Russian Marxism which was a genuine threat to their borders, as it was to
Germanys.

Yes, I know. Most European nations contributed to different divisions of the Waffen SS. IMO, they collaborated with their enemies while the Germans occupied their home countries. And I'm smearing their motives? A traitor is a traitor, motive or not...

Who did more good for their nation it was under German occupation, the one who sat home and spent the war hiding and avoiding, or the one who joined the Germans to fight on the Russian front in order to hopefully keep the FAR WORSE Russians from their borders?  Think about it.  It is not complicated.

No, it's not complicated at all. Instead of joining the Danish resistance (who, you may recall, were fighting against the occupying Germans), 10,000 Danes chose to collaborate and fight FOR those very same invaders. Last time I checked, the Soviets never invaded and occupied Denmark, did they? But you seem to think that the Soviets actually posed a greater threat at the time. No offense, but perhaps you are the one who should spend a little more time thinking about this one...
